"No way! There is no way both of you are still sick?! It's impossible! No flu bug lasts this long!" I shrieked.

"If I could I would come but I'm still throwing up." Andrea sighed.

"Are you sure?! Because if you are messing with me Andrea I swear!" I growled.

"Sorry." She said then hung up. I threw my phone across the room. It hit the wall with a 'thud' Startling Sherlock awake.

"What!" He jumped.

"Sorry Sherl." I sighed.

"Its Sherlock." He grumbled.

"Are you feeling any better?" I asked.

"Yeah I think I am!" Sherlock said forcing a smile. We stared at each other for a second before he bolted to the bathroom.

"You are a liar Sherlock Holmes!" I shouted angrily after him. I retrieved my phone from its dejected lying place at the bottom of the wall.

"Maybe it won't be so bad? I mean Richard is a flirt but he is fun!" I said trying to psych myself up to the ugly prospect of playing opposite Richard in 'Hamlet'.

"I mean it's likely Sherlock will be feeling better by the next showing.

So maybe it won't be so bad...Just one time...I can do this."

Sherlock walked out of the bathroom and collapsed on the couch. In seconds he was asleep. I walked over to him and ran my fingers thought his silken black hair. He looked so peaceful when he was asleep, When he wasn't insulting people, and making enemies.

Regrettably, I couldn't watch Sherlock all day so I put my coat and shoes on and let myself out the door.

Today was the first showing of 'Hamlet' I was nervous beyond belief and acting with Richard really didn't help that.

I arrived at the drama room with a storm cloud over my head. However It quickly diminished when I stepped into the room. The air was filled with a sense of anticipation. There was a buzz around the other actors.

I walked quickly to the backstage area and found a place to modestly get changed. Once I was in my Ophelia gown I ran to find my hair person. I sat in the hair-styling chair and absentmindedly ran my hand over the silken fabric, I suppose in an effort to try to calm myself. Maggie, my hair stylist, quickly curled the ends of my hair. She twisted back a few pieces, to form a base for my flower crown. We finished the hair and makeup, and I headed to the cast room where everyone was waiting. I was intercepted by Brooke however.

"Keyland can I talk to you for a second?" He said nervously.

"Er yeah, sure!" I cringed.

Richard pulled me aside and when he was sure nobody could hear us he said..

"I would like to formally apologize for my behavior. I know I have been flirting with you a lot and I think that its because, I have never met a woman like you before." He said taking my hands in his. I opened my mouth to speak but he silenced me with a finger on my lips.

 "Hush now, I'm almost done. Keyland Jones you are a beautiful woman... and I love you." He gazed at me expectantly.

 Well damn.
